Microgen® Listeria ID Panel is a 24-hour test for the identification of six species of Listeria.
A complete microwell format identification panel for identifying all Listeria spp., no additional materials required
Substrates included conform to all international standards. Enhanced built-in hemolysis test, no blood plate required. Validated for chromogenic media, and no sub-culture necessary from selective media. AOAC-RI validated. CMMAS assessed and approved by Microgen®.
The Microgen Listeria-ID system employs 12 standardized micro well substrates combined with the Microgen Identification System Software to identify members of the genus Listeria:
Listeria monocytogenes
Listeria innocua
Listeria welshimeri
Listeria grayi
Listeria ivanovii
Listeria seeligeri
Each Microgen Listeria-ID microwell strip contains 11 dehydrated substrates for the performance of carbohydrate utilization tests and one empty well for the performance of a haemolysin reaction. The selection of the substrates included in the test panel is based on a combination of those substrates recommended in international standard methods plus additional tests which either confirms the isolate being tested as belonging to the genus Listeria.
Identification of isolates is achieved by recording the results visualized by a color change after 18-24 hours incubation. Hemolysin reagent and suspension fluid is included in the kit.
These results are then analyzed using the Microgen Identification System Software.
Reagents required, but not included.
